alsamixer mystery functions

[Tyler Aviss]

You mentioned "Alsamixergui", so I assume you'er using an graphical
environment: kde, gnome, or other?

Nowadays I use kmix (with KDE, much nicer integration than alsamixer),
and before that I had good luck with "tkmixer" for simple level
control, etc. You might want to give one of those a try if alsamixer
is being a major pain.
